Even if it’s possible to make it using configuration setting it’s fine (just not to change ruby code ). Or is it possible during setup specify (these properties): [discourse/config/site\_settings.yml at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/config/site_settings.yml)  
maximum\_session\_age:  
default: 1440  
min: 1  
max: 175200

Because we’re set it up using docker and I’m not sure whether these props will take affect.
